Transpose Table

The Transpose Table feature allows you to quickly swap the rows and columns of your selected table(s). This essentially flips the table over its diagonal axis without manually rearranging data.

This tool works seamlessly across Google Docs™, Google Slides™, and Google Sheets™.

What is Transposing a Table?

Transposing a table interchanges its rows and columns. The first row of the original table becomes the first column of the new table, the second row becomes the second column, and so on. Conversely, the original columns become the new rows.
